On counting double centralizers of symmetric groups (Q6106305)

Let \(S_n\) be the symmetric group on the symbols \(\{1, 2, \dots, n\}\) and let \(h\in S_n\). A question of interest is, given \(h\), how easily can we find elements \(g\in S_n\) that can make the centralizer \(C(\langle h, ghg^{-1} \rangle )\) small (size in polynomial of \(n\))? To make the notion of being ``small'' more precise, we need some notation. Let \(H\) be the subgroup of \(S_{2m}\) consisting of permutations preserving the partition \(\{1,2\},\{3,4\},\ldots, \{2m-1,2m\}\), we call \(g\in S_{2m}\) \textit{good} if \(|H\cap gHg^{-1}|=m^{O(1)}\) and call it \textit{bad} otherwise. The author of this paper proves that the good elements of \(S_{2m}\) have density zero and the bad elements \(g\in S_{2m}\) with \(|H\cap gHg^{-1}|\gg m^{\log m}\) have zero density.
